The town of Narvik, a small harbor on the Atlantic, was strategically important because it was a port that shipped iron ore from neutral Sweden to Germany.

The Nazis wanted to secure these exports, while the Allies wished to keep Narvik under control of the Norwegian government, or at least deny its use as a port via sabotage.

He meets his wife Ingrid, who is a waitress at the town's hotel, during a meeting between German and British representatives to discuss working relations between the warring states, who both need the iron ore mined in Kiruna and Gällivare, Sweden and brought to this Norwegian town by the ore railway for export.

After phoning his father Aslak on the dynamite's whereabouts, Gunnar is told that his wife and child are on a train heading towards the bridge.

The German consul Fritz Wussow asks Ingrid to assist him in negotiations with the hostile mayor Theodor Broch.

In the chaos, Ingrid manages to steal a map of German artillery emplacements in town and then gives it to Ross, who sends the information to the British warships.

As she returns, the British start bombarding the town, killing Aslak and injuring Ole when a shell lands on their house.

After taking advice from her boss Polly, who warns her that her collaboration with the Germans is known in the town, Ingrid decides to leave Narvik with Ole.

They board a fishing boat with other civilians who scorn them for her collaboration before they are joined by Gunnar and escape Narvik before the Germans recapture the city.
